Japanese tradition
of manufacturing excellence

Expertise in the forging, casting, and
honing of high-quality steel and other
metals dates back in Miki City, Japan
2000 years to the days of feudal warfare.
Under the protection of the reigning feudal
lord in the 12th century, Miki City became
the center of the blacksmith industry
in all of Asia. The skills of the craftsmen
who were secreted in Miki City grew over
the centuries from the design and manufacture
of swords, armor, and other arms of war
to extremely precise carpentry tools used
in Japan’s wood manufacturing industry.

Today Miki City’s 2000-year-old
hardware industry is based on modern mass-production
techniques, but relies on strict attention
to design, engineering, and precise manufacturing
tolerances.
